I would pick Tedesco. However he would be on a short leash. If we were to fall out of contention or his form drop badly i would pull the plug on him. Until then we must pick our best side. We must make every effort to play semi finals football. The clubs needs success. We can't punish every player for Tedesco going to Canberra by picking under strength sides while we are in contention.

Anasta dropped never to play FG again at Tigers (he can mentor Moses in state cup), Fulton and Halatau to return through state cup as well as Paterson. Should be plenty of pressure on the top 17 with all the injured brigade returning and playing state cup.

The other thing with picking Teddy is that it might have a destabilising effect on the team. Not necessarily saying it will but who knows with a young team that's going places in the future knowing there's someone there who doesn't want to be part of it. And then there's Teddy's comments about Sticky - a slap in the face for Potter.
But I reckon Potter will pick him until we're out of the running for finals.

Raiders running last, so they have to throw money to get players. We have put Tes on the pesdestal long before he has reached his potential. Now he has reached his potential he wants the sky. He will find for that sort of money, he has to push S... up the hill in Canberra. All their best players have left them, now they have to pay a premium for thye second liners.
